How well you use as a juicer

We don't use it as a juicer, but to make smoothies. It works very well in that capacity.

Yes, and very well. I have juiced kale, and other leafy greens and it does great.

I have never tried. When I have juiced greens though, it does leave a little more juice in the pulp. I just ran the pulp right through again...a few more times. The centrifugal juicers leave a much drier pulp, but then you have to stop and open the juicer to empty it when it gets full. But, I still like the convenience of the Champion much better. Even if you have to put the pulp through again, it still takes less time in the long run.

Yes. you can. That is the sole purpose of a juicer. Cleaning this juicer is quite easy too.

the only problem ive had with this juicer is that it doesnt handle pineapple very well. it does great with all other fruits and veggies (even leafy veggies). ive had it for 3 months and it works great. no problems with the attachments or with the motor. easy to clean. mine came with a 12 yr warranty so i feel pretty confident about it working in the future.

Yes this juicer does great with all kinds of fruits and veggies. We have had its for over 4 years now and have daily put everything in it from strawberries and watermelon to celery, cucumbers, kale and spinach. I have even made almonds milk with it. It juices carrots, sweet potatoes and bets with ease. I only suggest that if you do root veggies to cut them up thin to save wear and tear on the motor.

We gave it to our daughter as a gift, but she used it before leaving and it worked great! She juiced fruit, veggies and wheat grass. Pulp came out dry and almost clear and juice goes out through another area.

It's not bad at all. It is so modular, all of the pieces can be cleaned seperately. The only tricky part is the screen/blade section, but I would guess that it is similar to other juicers.

I can only compare it to my old Champion juicer, which was such a pain to operate with leafy greens.(the hole was too small and the leaves would make the plunger stick). So by comparison the Breville is AWESOME, I juiced some kale a few days ago and got a decent amount, the pulp was very dry. Have not tried other greens, but imagine it would be efficient.

I wish i could tell you Tree. I haven't tried it yet. I use it as a strainer for my green juicing. Sorry. I do plan on trying it sometime tho. If i try it i will let you know! Good luck.

I do use this for making kale juice. Since it's a manual juicer, it takes a lot more effort than just stuffing uncut kale leaves into an electric model. I take most of the stem off the leaf, don't put more than one leaf in at a time, alternate with cuke or apple, and that works. Don't get this juicer if you don't want a little work out in order to have a refreshing, healthy drink.

I used it to juice poms and it performed well. I removed the outer skin and broke the pulp up into smaller pieces.

This juicer has done really well w/ greens, like kale and spinach. As for efficiency, I can't compare the quantity of juice produced to another juicer, since this is my first one. But I am happy with it.

Yes, just make sure you mix the ingredients while you juice it. For example leafy greens - piece of cucumber - leafy greens and so on. This works great

I have used the juicer about 50 times with never a malfunction. However if you overfill it, juice will get down into the motor.

I love my juicer. What a machine! I just brought in some key limes to try before answering your inquiry. I was able to juice them by pressing my palm over the limes. Not perfect like the oranges but works.

I personally found this juicer more easier and for juice for the product you're juicing then the regular juicers. Clean up for me is within 5 min, but then again some others might take a longer time. I love the item and bought three for my house hold.
